The input voltages shall rise from 10 percent of nominal to 90 percent of nominal at a minimum slope of 250 V/s. The smooth turn-on requires that, during the 10 percent to 90 percent portion of the rise time, the slope of the turn-on waveform must be positive. Copyright © 2020 congatec AG SX8Xm01... -

Storage: 5% to 95% Caution The above operating temperatures must be strictly adhered to at all times. When using a congatec heatspreader, the maximum operating temperature refers to any measurable spot on the heatspreader’s surface. Humidity specifications are for non-condensing conditions. -

1. We recommend a maximum torque of 0.4 Nm for carrier board and module mounting screws. 2. The gap pad material used on congatec heatspreaders may contain silicon oil that can seep out over time depending on the environmental conditions it is subjected to. For more information about this subject, contact your local congatec sales representative and request the gap pad material manufacturer’s specification. -

PN: 051105 offers HDMI pins instead of LVDS1/DSI1 pins by default. HDMI pins are only offered as an assembly option for commercial variants of the conga-SMX8-X because there is currently no DSI to HDMI bridge on the market certified for the industrial temperature range. Copyright © 2020 congatec AG SX8Xm01... -
Page 22: Camera Inteface (Mipi ® Csi)
I2S2 pins for up to two Inter-IC Sound (I²S) buses. Note conga-SMX8-X variants with HDMI pins do not offer I2S0 pins. The pin signals are routed to the onboard DSI to HDMI bridge instead to support audio output via HDMI. Copyright © 2020 congatec AG SX8Xm01 22/32... -
Page 23: I2C Interfaces
The conga-SMX8-X offers CAN[0:1] pins for two Controller Area Network (CAN) buses by default via ISO 11898-1 standard compliant FlexCAN controllers integrated in the SoC. Each bus supports the CAN FD and CAN 2.0 B protocols. Optionally, the conga-SMX8-X can offer SER3 pins instead of the CAN1 pins (assembly option). Copyright © 2020 congatec AG SX8Xm01 23/32... -
Page 24: Usb Interfaces
The conga-SMX8-X module variants with NXP i.MX 8DualX SoC do not support USB 3.0 because this SoC does not provide USB 3.0 signals. 5.10 PCI Express™ The conga-SMX8-X offers PCIE_A pins for one PCI Express x1 Gen3 bus with a bitrate of up to 8 GTps. Copyright © 2020 congatec AG SX8Xm01 24/32... -
Page 25: Ethernet
The conga-SMX8-X does not support boot source selection via input straps (BOOT_SEL[0:2]#) because it uses the Boot From Fuses mode. The eFUSES are preset by congatec to load the bootloader (U-Boot) from the onboard SPI NOR flash memory (see section 6.3 “SPI NOR Flash”). -
Page 26: Power Control
The RESET_OUT# signal (pin P126) is an active-low output signal from the module. The module asserts this signal during the power-up sequencing to allow the carrier board power circuits to come up. The module deasserts this signal to begin the boot-up process. Copyright © 2020 congatec AG SX8Xm01... - Page 27 You should µ therefore ensure the power supply and decoupling capacitors provide enough power to drive the module. Note For more information about power control event signals, refer to the SMARC specification. ® Copyright © 2020 congatec AG SX8Xm01 27/32...

USB4 is recommended but it is also possible to connect the module via SDIO (instead of SDIO pins), PCI Express (instead of PCIE_A pins), or Serial Port (instead of SER2 pins; can only be used for BT). Note PN: 051104 offers Wi-Fi/BT instead of USB4 pins by default. Copyright © 2020 congatec AG SX8Xm01 28/32... -
